Objectives
This research group investigates fluid flow of complex fluids, rheology and mixing in chemical reactors. The ultimate goal is the application of this fundamental research to the design of innovative chemical reactors from micro- to macro-scales. Major research topics
Development of efficient and stable numerical methods with applications in computational rheology
Fundamental and applied research in mixing, coupling molecular scale phenomena with flow scales
Experimental and numerical investigation of mixing and reaction in micro/meso-sized reactors
Development of efficient composites based on a resilient scaffold material with embedded microfluidic patterns, filled with complex fluids
Investigation of inertial and elastic turbulence
